guidos?

we had reservations to eat at guidos in mt adams friday night. or so we thought. we walked up and down st. gregory and could not find it. finally we called the number and realized we are idiots. it is actually tavern on the hill. i don't know if it used to be called guidos, or if it is the name of one of the sections of the bar, or if we just live in a fantasy world of mythical restaurants that somehow have the same phone number as real ones.

anyway, we finally settled in the hillside room, the "elegant dining" portion of the tavern. i don't have much to say about the whole experience except the service was very nice but very slow, i enjoyed my glass of zen of zin, and the uninspired lasagna was roughly the size of my head.

(head not pictured)

the hillside room gets a big "it's alright".

brian also wanted me to post a picture of his kickass parallel-parking. here it is, at no extra charge. (pay no mind to the disgusting dirtiness of my car)

You're not crazy... it used to be Guido's. I'd also recommend dining in their "casual" section, a.k.a. the bar. They have a fabulous pizza crust. During March Madness, they also have a 22 oz. Miller Lite special that happens to be large cans, not draft.

the recipe for our friendship

we're just two girls born and bred on the westside who grew up loving high school football, church festivals, cheap beer, and, of course, food. we're always looking for something new to taste, even if it's not the most recent addition to the menu at price hill chili.as is the genesis for many great friendships, we met through a mutual friend at a bar, circa 2000, and realized it was unbelievable we hadn't met previously. we knew the same people, had hung out at the same places, probably passed each other a million times. we were (and are) each other's kevin bacon. we both like to eat, drink, and eat some more. and, let's be honest, drink some more, too.questions? we'd love to hear from you at westsidefoodiewannabes@gmail.com.
